There is a special bond that exist between mother and child most especially and unborn baby. This kind of love can be strong that it is believed that the mother can sense her child even if its far away from her. Be rest assured this is not some sci-fi book.

Irrespective of this bond and joy, there are also some perks of being pregnant too;

Your choice of footwear is highly limited.

The last reason is the major purpose for this blog post. Here are 5 classic shoe types you can wear as a pregnant mother. This way you can still slay and be pregnant. Sounds great right? Lets dive in!

Heels

I’m not recommending stilettos or pumps that are sky scraper high. No, those are not going to be comfortable for you and its not safe for pregnant mothers to wear them. Wedges and wooden block heels are recommended as these add the right amount of inches to your height giving you that thrill of height we get when we wear heels and also you get to enjoy being comfortable. Comfort is key when pregnant, these offer you these.

Boots

These should have flat soles and you can be ensured of comfort. These can be worn when you need to achieve that casual yet chic look. You can either be brave and go for thigh high flat boots or Chelsea boots (ankle boots). You are not missing all the fun while putting these on.

Athletic Shoes

Fitness is an important activity for pregnant mother as it ensures the fitness of the mother and this in turn translates to the unborn child. To slay while working out, you can go for sneakers or you might want to go for Crocs if you are into taking long walks rather than exercising. Its all your choice of fitness. So, lets give these a try!

Flats

These are a must have for all. They give you that corporate feel and still enjoy being comfortable. They come in different sizes and styles too. Ballerina shoes are also recommended. So, take a pick and get to business.

Sandals

These are great for relaxing. A walk down the beach, a trip to the cinema and so much more. You get to feel the breeze against your feet. This way your feet get to breathe after a week being enclosed. These also come in different shapes, designs colors. You would have a great time making the right choice, trust me. The bottom line is always aim for comfort in any footwear you decide to pick.

Most times, the fault might lie in the hands of the maker, but often times, you can agree with me that the fault comes from us. Yes, we are the reasons why our shoes don’t last. We handle them carelessly, we toss them around anyhow and we use them to discipline that stubborn child (lol).

Shoe Brushes

There are various types of brushes and they are all dependent on the type of shoes you want to use them on as well as the type of shoe polish you wish to use them with. This is very essential in the maintenance of shoes.
